Three cylinders and 1 liter of pure 80s sexy

This car has a claimed 146K miles, but could pass for 46K.  This will make a tasty little pocket rocket for someone.  We showed the later, Canadian version before, but this is the original and was sold in the US.

04/30/2013 update:  Ended with 35 bids and reserve not met at $3,800.  That should have been enough to take ‘er home!

These wheels are pretty badass.

Child likely not included

If the corner boo-boo is the worst of it, we could handle that.

Interior is funky 80s and appears to be immaculate. We usually worry about an image hiding the driver’s bolster, but there’s one below.

Yep – looks pretty good here, too.

Gauges have a wanna-be XJS look.

Pure magic…

Very nice two owner car, i’ve owned it since around 2008 and it was purchased new in colorado.

It was always serviced at the dealer and as this lady got older, it took some pressure from her family

for her to buy a new car. I have tried to take as good care of it as she did. I think this was the best of

the econo cars of the 80’s. It has really good power and will knock down 42-43 mpg at 73 mph. With

the AC on it only looses about 2-3 MPG. It usually still gets 40 give or take.The car runs really well

and has very few issues. I always see people ask if it will make it to “wherever” it will. I would drive

it with confidence to the East Coast. The car has no rust issues what so ever. I don’t believe it’s ever

been wrecked. The reason I’m selling it is with two bad knees it’s auto trans cars for me.

ITEMS REPLACED

Tires about 10k miles ago   Brakes are in great shape  I have new shocks,struts KYB’s (not installed)

All fluids belts, hoses, thermostat, complete tune-up, turbo cooling hoses are special high heat silicone

New starter, fuel pump, filter valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket.

ISSUES

The trans like most Sprints will scratch if you downshift into first at speed, it’s worse when cold.

The fan motor blows on low and high, but not medium

The E-Brake stays on sometimes when you release the brake.

Could use new wiper blades

That’s about it!

    That's a steal. I would love to have that thing. Pretty rare these days to see one in such nice shape.

    It's damn tempting – fly into Vegas, cab it over and drive home (hopefully). 🙂
